Welcome on board everyone! Today our destination is Arab Airport. This is a new airport to you, but has so much to offer. Please stow all luggage in the overhead bins and fasten your seatbelts. We would like to remind you that smoking is completely prohibited on board. The plane is ready for take-off. (You didn’t expect airport conversation, did you?)

Let’s try this airport announcement in Arabic:
